Pezzota Powers To Mackay Title #PSAWorldTour On the day he celebrated his first appearance in the top 100 of the PSA World Squash Rankings, Argentina's Robertino Pezzota claimed a surprise title success in Australia when he upset second-seeded compatriot Gonzalo Miranda in today's final of the Mackay Open in Queensland. Seeded three, 31-year-old Pezzota reached the final of the PSA Challenger 5 event in its fifth year at the Mackay Leisure Centre in Mackay – the seventh Tour final of his career – when he defeated No.5 seed Leandro Romiglio, also from Argentina, in the semis. But Pezzota, now ranked 99 in the world, was too strong for fellow countryman Miranda in the final, winning 11-2, 13-11, 13-11 to secure the second title of his career – but his first away from South America.
